How To Maintain Recitation Of The Quran After Ramadhan?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Our Scholars have often stated that consistency (istiqamah) is better than a thousand miracles because we can really achieve absolutely anything with istiqamah. There are several factors affecting istiqamah. Most important is Tawfiq from Allah, which is Allah enables you to maintain consistency. It's not something that anyone can attain but it's a privilege and blessing that Allah bestows upon us. Therefore, it is important that we turn to Allah and pray for istiqamah.
The steps for istiqamah:
1. Turn to Allah and ask Allah for consistency. One way to do that is reciting Surah alFatiha that we read in our daily prayers. In it we ask Allah to “Guide us to the straight path.” ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ The straight path (mustaqeem) is from the same root as istiqamah. So to maintain uprightness and righteousness and to be upright consistently is essentially what istiqamah is.
The Prophet (ﷺ) has various supplications also to indicate that istiqamah was an objective that he (ﷺ) strove. There are various forms that we could employ and turn to Allah. For example:
Allahumma ahiT-Thana bittaqwa wal istiqaamah
“O Allah Encompass us, engulf us in Allah Consciousness and in consistency.”
This too can be espoused from the hadiths and Quran:
وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًا
“And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect. [Quran, Al Kahf 18:28]
The Prophet (ﷺ) has the practice in month of Ramadhan in which he spent a big portion of his time in the company of angel Jibril (peace be upon him) to study and read the Quran together. He was impacted by the company and he became more benevolence and more generous during this time

Why Learn Arabic
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Narrated Muhammad bin Ka'b Al-Qurazi:
"I heard 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud saying: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "[Whoever recites a letter] from Allah's Book, then he receives the reward from it, and the reward of ten the like of it. I do not say that Alif Laam Meem is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter and Meem is a letter." [At-Tirmidhi]
There is a reward for every single letter that you recite of the Quran even if you don’t know what you are saying. Obviously the point of the Quran is to read it, reflect and act upon it but even if you don't do that there, there's a tremendous benefit in our spiritual and our religious life to just be able to sit down and read the Quran. But it means you need to learn Arabic itself. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to read something in the original Arabic and understand what the text is about as opposed to reading some translation, which may not be completely accurate.
